While Not Dangerous, It Is High
ly Contagious Sometimes
Complications F o 1 low,
Says State Health
Hoard.
Atlanta, Ga. —Although chicken-pox
1b regarded as one of the natural ail
ments incident to childhood, there
are eeveraJ important reasons, says
the Georgia State Board of Health,
why parent* should exercise all the
care that would be taken with a mor*
dangerous epidemic disease.
In the first place, while chicken
pox, when properly treated, leaves
no permanent disfigurement of the
skin, if neglected or permitted to be
come severe, it may leave scars or
pock marks similar to the pits that
come from smaU-pox. All that is
usually necessary to prevent the
ecars is proper medical attention and
the exercise of care to prevent the
patient from scratching the eruptions.
If small children persist in scratching,
it is a good idea to put mittens on
their hands, itching may be alleviat
ed by carboljzed and warm baths, and
the application of oil may be used to
hasten the separation of the ciusts.
Another reason why chicken-pox
cases should be given careful atten
tion is the fact that while severe Ll
ness or death seldom, if ever, occurs
in uncomplicated cases, there is al
ways a possibility of complications
that might lead to serious results.
Complications are rare, but when they
do occur they consist usually of pneu
monia, erysipelas and inflammation of
the kidneys (nephritis). Not infre
quently chicken-pox is complicated by
some other infectious disease, but
this, however, is more of a coincid
ence than a true complication.
Another reason tor exercising
speeiaj care in chicken-pox cases, —
and this is the most important reason
of all from the standpoint of com
munity welfare, —is the fact that the
disease ,is highly contageous, and
when the children of a family, or a
school or a neighborhood have been
once exposed to it, scarcely any child
who has not had the disease escapes
contagion. ■,

Usually Confined to Children.
The disease is usually communicat
ed in the ordinary intercourse of
children in the family, the school or
the playgrounds. While grown peo
ple are not entirely immune, it is
usually confined to children. The
poison is eliminated not only through
surface of the body and the crusts
broken from the eruption, hut even
in the air which the person breathes.
It is believed by physicians that it
can enter the body by way of the
respiratoty passages. Direct cou
■tact, therefore, is not necessary, the
infection being communicated to some
little distance by the air; it can also
be carried more remotely by persons
who do not contract the disease
themselves, but who transmit it to
persons who are more susceptible.
The importance of isolation and
sanitary precautions, in the light of
the disease's highly contageous na
ture, becomes immediately manifest,
isolation should be practiced, and the
quarantine should be prolonged until
the last crusts are thrown off. Dis
infection of the person, clothing and
aparttment is desirable to minimize
the danger of spreuding the disease.
These measures, and the treatment
of the disease, should be carried out
under the direction of a physician.
Chicken-Pox Symptons.
Chicken-pox is ordinary, an easy
disease to diagnose. It develops in
from ten to sixteen days after ex
posure. The first indication is usually

Satan is the author of death, hut
Jesus Christ came to abolish
death }l Md to destroy him who
had tV* poW r of death —that is,
the devil. We hear people com
plaining against God—blaming
him for the disasters, storms and
loss of life, but this is a great
mistake, for we read in Holy
Writ that Satan is prince and
power of the air; and lie is the
author of all the destruction and
death for God willeth not the
death of any man but would
that all come unto Him and live.
Sickness and death came into the
world by Satan and it is still so
today. Jesus says; “l come
not to destroy men’s lives but to
save them.” And if yon will
notice when Jesus was at sea
with his dciiples there arose a
great, storm, and it was about to
capsize the ship, and the diciples
cried out: “Lord, save us, or we
p-rish.” And -lesns rebuked the
winds and there was a great calm
Now if the storm was of God,
would Jesus rebuke Ilis Fa
ther’s works/ Nay, verily, but
Satan is prince of the power of
the air; and it was simply Satan
and his work that Jesus was re
buking, for Satan wanted to take
the life of Jesus and the disciples

BpotsT '"which rapidly' develop into
water blisters called vesicles. They
vary in size,! the largest being about
the diameter of a split pea. There
vesicles are on the surface of the skin
and do not go deep. Usually there is
no suppuration or pus. The disease is
often accompanied by slight fever.
Surrot nding each vesicle is a narrow
bright red ring called an aero’la. They
come out ip crops on the body; s9me
times on the face and scalp; and oc
casionally even in the mucous mem
brane of the mouth. The blisters
seldom go on to pustulation, but
rapidly dry up after the fluid in them
becomes opaque. In addition to slight
feverishness there may be loss of ap
petite, aching feeling, and catarrhal
inflammation. The duration of the
attack is variable. Three or four
weeks is usually the extreme limit
before the separation of the last
crusts. Relapses do not occur. Im
munity from future attacks is prac
tically permanent.
Rut It must be understood that
chicken-pox has no relation whatever
to smallpox, and the fact that a pa
tient has had one of them before, nev
er protects from the other.
The medical name of chicken-pox
is varicella. It was once regarded as
a greatly modified and mild form of
smallpox, but it is now known as
an entirely distinct disease. One of
these diseases never gives rise to
the other. The attack of one con
fers no immunity against the other;
vaccination affords no protection
against chicken-pox. and children who
have recently suffered from chicken
pox re act to vaccination in the or
dinary manner.
